[Intro: Emtee]
Yeah
Yeah, sometimes I ask myself man
Uh, yeah

[Chorus: Emtee]
Where would I be, now?
Where would I be, now?
If I didn’t believe in me, yeah!
Where would I be, now?
If it wasn’t for the music
If it wasn’t for the music
If it wasn’t for the music
If it wasn’t for the music, yeah

[Verse 1: Ranks ATM]
If it wasn't for the demo, tell me where would I be?
If I didn't stumble and fell and got back on my feet
If my confidence was low and didn't believe in me
If I was cool with the lowlife yase Pienaari
Impilo bengingayfuni, ngasebenta something had to give
Nkulunkulu ungdaleli i-demo (idemo)
Kutsi ngdlulise mlayeto
Ngtsintse labakhona, nalabangasekho
Ngabe azange ngatitsemba, ngabe ng'kuphi? (Where?)
Mhlambe ngabe ngidla i-Nyaope, ngidla i-Wunga
Ngabe ngfana nemuntfu lote maphupho
Malanga kuye ayafana, kute impucuko
Demo demo demo done saved me
I cuffed it, I made it my baby (Boo)
I'm taken, nobody can save me (Noo)
[Verse 2: Sims]
I was made for this, but I wonder where I prolly would be if it wasn’t for drive and my team
It’s all about the music, that’s what got me looking clean
I mean, atleast that’s all I know
I can’t let it go, I keep it close to my heart but the guala try make me let go
Barely Conscious, barely Focused
In the city you gon' get walked up
Only God tatted, life changing sudden
Uncle was a rockstar back in the 80's
Humans die, music lives that’s the way it is
Why we born if this the way that we gotta live?
Same word in the hood, that's why I had to leave
Ndeloleshafye, lesa emwine
If you ain’t inspired you ain’t allowed
Man I wonder Where I would be right now if wasn’t inspired

[Chorus: Emtee]
Where would I be, now?
Where would I be, now?
If I didn’t believe in me, yeah!
Where would I be, now?
If it wasn’t for the music
If it wasn’t for the music
If it wasn’t for the music
If it wasn’t for the music, yeah
[Verse 3: Just G]
Surely God didn't put me on this earth for me
Since a little n***a it was all I dreamed
Thandaza daily was on my knees
Just hoping you see you was made for this
Like G, boy uk'kholwa is the key
Uban' uzothemba, if you don’t believe?
You know what it’s like to have no place to sleep?
Ngalesphiwo wanikwa nguthixo, you’ll eat
And this music is a drug, I can’t kick
Put in all the hours, never came quick
Eminyakeni seen me some shit
Kund’lungisile for what I’m meant to be, yeah yeah
(And I) I be with a team that made a kid believe
(That I) Was really meant for more than dying without shit

[Verse 4: Emtee]
If it wasn’t for the music
Lemme tell you on some true shit
I’d probably be on some bullshit
My heart would be bruisin', yeah
Now look at how we moving, yeah
Used to struggle, now we cruisin', yeah
Now people wanna use me, yeah
I be coolin' with the movement, yeah
U-Satan unamanga gaz’ lam
I'ma hold shit down for ikasi lam
Bheka manje siyazama ak’fan’
Ene ribakena ka nkan', aye
Life ain’t easy
I was robbed from i-Life yob’ cheesy
I saw pain mang’ bhuk’ ispili..
The next day got a brand new deal
[Chorus: Emtee]
Where would I be, now?
Where would I be, now?
If I didn’t believe in me, yeah!
Where would I be, now?
If it wasn’t for the music
If it wasn’t for the music
If it wasn’t for the music
If it wasn’t for the music, yeah
